My personal hell

Well I made it an entire month without weighing myself, and after the weekend we had, I'm not planning of getting on the scale anytime soon. Friday was my 27th birthday, and we celebrated with some basketball and few drinks. Overall, not a complete diet disaster. However, Saturday, we made our way to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for a friend's wedding. Now, I had never been to the eastern part of the state, so I didn't really know what I was in for. When we hit Pigeon Forge, I knew I was in trouble. As I described it to a friend, imagine spring break 1980, a country fair, and a mountain got together and somehow made a baby. When we got into Gatlinburg, after about 4 hours in the car, we were starving, and there were few options. I'm not gonna lie, I turn into a huge Biatch when I'm hungry, so getting some food in me was top priority for Chad. He ended up ordering a pizza, and even though I knew it would hurt later, I was just too hungry to resist. Hunger satiated, we headed to the wedding, and within 20 minutes it felt like an army of angry knomes was battling for world domination in my tummy. I wish I could say that things got better over the next 24 hours but I finally gave into the fact that there was just no chance of clean eating for the weekend. Not kidding, everything was fried or heavily processed. I tried to minimize the damage, but I had to eat.

Once you go down the path of clean eating, there's really just no turning back. You feel absolutely awful when you eat anything out of your norm. I hate to sound like such a snob, but I work hard to take care of my body, and it in turn, takes care of me. Anyway, I was so glad to be back home this morning and I happily prepared breakfast for Chad and I. I had a protein shake, and my breakfast cake with almond butter and strawberries...YUM! I told my friend Aubrey, today was a fresh start for us all, and I'm so ready to get back on track. I think she's in the same boat.

For lunch I went to Fido and had a scramble of spinach, onions, and eggs, topped with flank steak with a side of sweet potato fries. Such a delicious meal on a cold, snowy (yes snowy!!!) day.

Don't even try to tell me that this does not look amazing.

I headed to CrossFit this evening and then hurried home to hang out with Chad. He requested pizza for dinner, and though I didn't love the idea of having dairy, pizza sounded awesome. I really love the paleo crust I've been using and I topped it with marinara, ground turkey, bell peppers, jalepenos, and raw cheddar.

I'll take this over pizza hut any day!

So here's to clean eating and feeling awesome. Maybe I am a food snob, but if it means feeling great, I'll own it!
